Intro: Introduce and defend a notion of autonomy that is constitutively social

1. Intuitions

1. Life Goal Formation

1. Space to Pursue Goals
2. Make Effective (i.e. goal enactment)

1. Ownership: values upon which goals are based are an agent's "own"
2. Independence: degree of dependency upon others for validation is minimized
3. Control: choice, actions, will

1. Doing what one wants
2. (Oshana) Power to determine Life

1. Paternalism: others acting or deciding for oneself

1. Internalist

1. Psychological Accounts: Dworkin I (auth/identification required) & II (ability to reflect), Watson (Platonic free agency), Christman (historical reflection)
2. Critiques: internalist accounts are exclusively subjectivist

1. Conflate autonomy of preferences with autonomy of external conditions
2. Parity Among Psychologies = Same Autonomy, regardless of ext. conditions

1. Case Studies

1. Voluntary Slave

1. Happiness, Reflectively Thoughtful, and Historically Clean doesn't make Slavery less autonomy inhibiting -you're still a slave!
2. Reliance upon Choice: exercise of free choice does not secure condition of autonomy (c.f. intuition of choice)

1. Harriet: subservient woman

i. Wanting to be subservient & Being subservient

2. Conscientious Objector: choosing prison rather than war

1. Internalist: Ongoing commitment = ongoing autonomy
2. Power over life: daily routine governed by others (i.e. the State)

1. The Monk: regulated routine yet authority (to reinstate self-government) intact

1. Interim non-autonomy: while in the order, one's life is not under one's own control
2. Globalism: living a self-governed life.

1. Externalist

1. The Model: Threshold conception of autonomy includes 4 conditions (illustrative of what is lost in an autonomous life, and therefore must be secured to be autonomous)

1. Critical Reflection: standard higher-order thought, leads to authenticity
2. Procedural Independence: non-coercive, non-manipulative environment
3. Access to Options: real, attainable, and expressive (i.e. non-duress induced) options
4. Social-Relational Properties: environmental features/properties that apply to an agent's social positioning

1. Able to Defend psychologically and physically
2. Able to Defend politically (in terms of civic rights)
3. Care Giving (as well as expectation of it) is reasonable and consensual
4. Paternalism Defeated (one can deviate from authorities' will and not be terribly penalized)

1. Philosophical Consequences: nature of agency/person is made more robust

1. Actually Being Autonomous: persons are not reducible to just their preferences (for PERSONS to be aut more than their pref have to be aut)
2. Personal History is more than Psychological History: similar idea -autonomy for Persons requires more than autonomy of History
